Just when you think it can't get worse...

sugarless4life · 05-16-2006, 08:10 PM

It does.

My mother died last week when I was on a cruise. Never got to go to her funeral. Then today, we get rear-ended by an 18 year old girl doing 55 mph. We were stopped at a stop light. Ended up in the emergency room for 2 hours. Nothing broken, but lots of pain in the neck and back and several thousand dollars damage to our car.

If ever there was a week to reach for the high carbage comfort foods, this is it. I refuse.............

Wow Betty,

Im so sorry. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.

Charski · 05-16-2006, 08:33 PM

Betty, hugs to you and yours - enough is enough already! I can't even imagine how stressful this must be for you.

And GOOD FOR YOU for NOT succumbing to the "comfort" of foods that you know aren't good for you....

Hope your aches and pains go away soon.

Awwww.

A similiar thing happened when my grandfather died. No one told me until I got home from my trip. I too have also lost a parent. I'm so sorry.

You are doing this for yourself! Eating carbs won't give you anything but dissapointment.

SummerWind · 05-16-2006, 09:26 PM

I'm so sorry. Talk about determination. You've got it. I hope things get better really soon.

deb3 · 05-17-2006, 06:19 AM

I'm so sorry! I can't even think about losing my parents- how terrible for you! And as for the accident, WTH??

Some people are too stupid or self centered, or both to have a license! I hope you don't suffer any long term effects- that's a hard impact with you sitting still and her going that fast!

Oh Betty I am so so so sorry to hear about your Mom and about your awful car accident. If I know you even a little bit from around these boards, you will take your distress out onto the road like the strong resolute woman that you are and maybe leave a small bit of the emotional pain oout there.

You are in my thoughts.

Betty, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother and that you didn't get to attend her funeral. How awful for you to suffer an accident with pain and damage on top of your grief.

It's wonderful that you're not giving in to foods which will only make you feel worse in the long run. You have my deepest condolences. I admire your determination.
